Smart, Repetitive Methods Accelerate Construction of Long Dual Bridges

This paper summarizes the benefits of using smart, repetitive design and construction techniques specifically tailored to contractor’s abilities to accelerate construction of the US 17 dual bridges over the Cashie River as part of a NCDOT Design-Build project. Well-planned design and construction activities and a true partnership between the designer and contractor allowed construction to proceed rapidly. Construction was completed four months ahead of schedule, avoiding any moratorium periods and providing many additional benefits to the project and the project team.
